Where do you get tap to add freon - Whirlpool 15.2 cu. ft. / 430 liter Upright Freezer EV150FXKQ

dont know --what is r131a doesnt exist --- is it low on freon -has someone tapped a line in the past ---your system is a closed /sealed system that only needs freon if someone damages a line/component causing leak --yours can be any thing fron dirty condenser--failing thermostat--compressor or fan[s]

Hi Ann
Here's a link

Unless you have a lot of expensive refrigeration tools and a license to recover and buy freon, then you need a serviceman.

you have first put in a line tap. If the freezer system has been open it must be put in vac. to get moisture out. Then with interior coil exposed put in a few oz and start compressor. with compressor running add while watching interior coil/ you add slow til coil frosts to 3/4 then your done

Well you could get a tap valve, like a bpv-31 and tap into the low side, which is the bigger line coming out of the compressor, but your going to need some freon guages, not ones for automotive, but for a/c or refridgeration, freon, and a recovery pump.; just these parts and tools alone your paying more than what it be to have someone over.

Hi,

Yes, it sounds like you are low in charge...

Here is a tip that I wrote about how to add refrigerant to a air conditioner or cooling system

How to add Freon to a Air Conditioner or Refrigeration System

Get a saddle valve like THIS ONE. Sand down the suction line or compressor ear and attach the valve. Connect hoses to the valve and add some freon. The low side pressure should be around
5 PSI.

Hi,
Most freezers do not have a tap from the factory to add aditional freon...you will need specialized equipment to be able to do that...

As the weather is getting warmer for many people their freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...

Check out this tip that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...

you dont want to add any more freon to it to start with

it either has to much in it or the thermostat is not turning it off and making it run to long, you need to see what temperature you are getting in the freezer and what suction pressure the unit is running on to determine if it is over charged

• if you are tapping into a sealed system, then you use the larger of the two copper lines coming out of the side of the compressor (this is the low pressure line, the compressor pulls from this side).
• clean off the copper tubing with some fine sandpaper before installing your tap.
• it is very easy to over fill a system with freon, so i would recommend pulling down the system to -30 psi and holding for at least 20 minutes. then add a known amount of freon to the system. 
• let it run for a while, it will take a little time to get the temperatures down.
